Before You Schedule a Visit to the Hattiesburg campus

Campus visits are available Monday-Friday.

If you would like to schedule a campus visit on behalf of a school or community group, please fill out the online School Group Tour Request form instead of using the Online Visit Scheduler. Group visits are offered on Monday and Wednesday.

If you have any questions or need to change the details of your scheduled visit, please contact Admissions at 601.266.5000.

Academic Session

Participate in an academic advising session with a faculty member in the department of your major. Discuss research opportunities, career options, and post-graduate education.

These appointments must be made at least a week in advance to allow for scheduling with academic departments.
